Summary
This paper presents a new method based on a probabilistic scheduling reserve for smart grids, which include renewable energy sources (RESs), thermal units, and energy storage systems (ESSs). The method is divided into two main parts. The first part is based on spinning reserve to overcome the load‐generation imbalance in the network, while the second part is related to the spinning reserve for the outage of generation units. The total expected energy not supplied (TEENS) is the reliability criterion that determines the required spinning reserve. In the proposed formulation, generation units, the demand response (DR) program, and ESSs are capable of providing both types of reserves. The proposed method is evaluated using The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 30‐bus and IEEE reliability test networks. The suggested structure has been implemented by General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS), and the results indicate the appropriate performance of the proposed method.
